Properties
Description
Chitosan-PEG-C16 palmitic acid (20 kDa), also called C16 palmitic acid-PEG-chitosan, is an experimental hybrid where a 20 kDa PEG spacer attaches palmitic acid to chitosan—a natural glycan. The product retains chitosan's biodegradability while adding PEG's molecular weight benefits and palmitic acid's drug carrier functionality.
